Applications I Use and Do Not Use 2017

I am an avid Macbook Pro and Android smartphone user. The combination influences the applications that I use. I figured I would share the applications I use most to possibly influence others, see what suggestions others have and to also see how my application landscape changes from year to year.

Apple

Caffeine – screen keep-alive

Chrome (primary browser)

Divvy – Window manager, demo mode or worth it

DropboxSynology Cloud Station

Firefox (secondary browser)

Flux – blue-light filter

Franz – run multiple applications within one window

GIMP – not my favorite app, but gets the job done

HyperDock – Dock manager, not free but worth it

iTerm2 – SSH client

Little Snitch – not free, but worth the money

MacPorts – apt-get like package management tool

Microsoft Office, Remote Desktop

Omnigraffle – Visio like tool – not free, but worth the money

Sidestep – tunnel Internet traffic

Skype – minimal usage currentlyZoom.us

Slack

TextEdit – native, attempting to switch to Wunderlist

Time Machine – native

VMware Fusion, OVF Tool, View Client

Wunderlist – task management

Some applications that I do not use:

Alfred 3 – native Finder works well

Blogo – prefer using native WordPress

Calendar – native – way too many bugs

Fantastical – Calendar replacement – way too many bugs

GrandPerspective – only if I need to find big files quickly

Mail – native – way too many bugs

Safari – does not work with my VPN client, not enough extensions

VLC – native works the majority of the time

I also leverage the CLI extensively, so I figured I would include some of my favorite CLI tools:
